Bring Your Manners To Work Day!

This year, September 6 is Bring Your Manners To Work Day! This day, created by The Protocol School of Washington in 2013, and reported by the Foster Folly News website, is dedicated to the importance of good manners and etiquette in the workplace! Celebrating can be as simple as sharing some helpful tips in an email or having a brief 5 minute conversation at the beginning of a team meeting!

“Commemorated on the first Friday of September every year, Bring Your Manners To Work Day is a much-needed reminder to all that the workplace has a decorum to be followed, and that bad manners are just bad for business.”

Most of all, this day is dedicated to showing how valuable good manners are for your workplace. Good etiquette can have an enormous impact on your team’s morale and how much they enjoy working. A discourteous office can drive good employees away, pushing them to find new positions elsewhere.

Bring Your Manners To Work Day is the perfect opportunity for you to promote good manners in your office. Take a moment and consider how you could help improve your workplace’s environment. You never know what positive effects it might have!
